Leg Lengthing in South Africa

Edit Post

Hello all,

I am currently considering all my options for leg lengthening. (I  am interested in internal femur) I heard that South Africa is a possible candidate,

id love to hear all the information on this topic.


A few questions:


Most important: How is the quality and the safety of South Africa and the hospitals there.

Will my height be accepted ( 5 Foot 7 inch)

Any experiences or anyone here who has ?

Any comments or recommendations/advice?

Thanks all!

I'm just waiting for my finances to be stable and definitely will make Dr B my #1 choice.

I've met him before and yes, 5'7" will likely be accepted, we have the same height. Indications are relative.

There's another CLL doctor I think in South Africa and you can search this forum. Is it in Cape Town (would be a better place to CLL than in Pretoria but for sure more expensive in every way)?
